The Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick of Central Iowa will again sponsor a Saint Patrick's Day Parade in downtown Des Moines on Saturday, March 17, 2014.
The parade, which will begin promptly at Noon, will take the same route as last year, heading north on 15th Street from MLK to Grand Avenue, then turning east on Grand to 8th Street, where the parade participants will disburse to the south on 8th Street before joining the celebration at the Downtown Marriott.
Staging of entries will begin at 9:00am on Martin Luther King Parkway, beginning at 15th Street and lining up to the east as far as is needed.
